A photo posted on Twitter by Uber Entertainment's Chandana Ekanayake shows a t-shirt with a Half-Life 3 logo, saying: "All I'm saying is I saw this at a local game developer event worn by a Valve employee." Whether this is significant, or just trolling is not clear yet. The two hash tags he uses for this are #HalfLife3 and #ValveTrolling. Thanks Computer and Video Games.

If people literally did whatever they wanted all day nothing would ever get done. You don't seem to understand you're reading PR. There is management, there are structured teams and not just rogue people all making their own games. I'm sure senior people get more freedom in this regard and their financial position lets them all pitch ideas to work on but to act like there is no oversight or larger company goals is kinda silly.

Google employs a similar approach where they allow employees time to develop ideas and small projects but there is structure and organization beyond just that. All of which again says nothing about HL3 either, just that Valve works on other things which is something they've done for awhile now. If an engineer can find porting a game to the PS3 interesting then I find it amusing you seem to think no one at Valve finds working on Half-Life interesting.
